The Elites Opened the Doors to Migrants—and Chaos
Wall Street Journal ^ | February 5, 2024 | Gerard Baker

Posted on 02/09/2024 1:38:45 PM PST by karpov

On the streets of New York, two police officers are beaten by a gang of eight migrant asylum seekers. Five of them are released without bail, one of them literally flipping the finger at the American public as he goes. The other three simply disappear.

On the streets of London, a woman and her two young children are doused with lethal chemicals. The suspect was twice denied asylum in the U.K. but managed to stay and was convicted of a serious sexual assault, then was granted asylum on appeal. The victims are left with life-altering injuries. A member of Parliament from the governing Conservative Party tells a television audience that this is a warning about the consequences of “microaggressions” that women face every day.

In Sweden a gang war between rival groups of migrants is unleashing havoc on the citizens of what was once a global model of social harmony. The European media descend on the country and publish dark warnings about the rise of “far right” anti-immigrant parties.

In Chicago, a “sanctuary city” recently inundated with illegal migrants, and where gang crime (most of it not migrant-related) is rampant, the City Council rouses itself from its indifference to pass a resolution that calls for antagonists to put down their arms—in Gaza.

It is tempting to look at these recent events across two continents and conclude that we in the West aren’t a serious civilization anymore, that our commitment to liberal principles, openness and tolerance have inured us to our peril; that our values are no longer fit for purpose in an open world of existential threats.

They’re only “elites” in their own minds.

Gerard Baker is by far the most liberal opinion writer on the WSJ Op/Ed pages. For him to write this article is quite illuminating.

“...that our commitment to liberal principles, openness and tolerance have inured us to our peril...”

That the nation must reach the threshold of no return before “intellectuals” like this decide to speak up shows you how incompetent the political Left really is.

They are elites because they control the institutions.

Not because they have any exceptional personal qualities.

” ... shows you how incompetent the political Left is.”

Umm, no, that requires an extremely charitable assumption as to what their desired end state is.

Democrats are now pushing to transfer Medicaid funding for poor Americans to provide housing and aid subsidies to the Democrats’ imported migrants.

Article well worth reading if you've got your blood pressure under control, as it cites other examples of Democrats using our money for our replacements while needy Americans get screwed.

It's become apparent that supposedly non-profit Non-Government Organizations like Catholic Charities and the Red Cross are profiting hugely from our taxes funneled to them while they serve as a "ghost bureau" importing and financing illegal aliens so the Democrats (and RINOs) can disavow official involvement.
